MARIE PIERRE TATTARACHI
Paris, July 26th, 1983

To whom it may concerns

My name is Marie-Pierre Tattarachi and I am a French fashion-designer.

I have done this work for twelve years now, and I am a consider one of the most important of the new fashion designers, not only in France but in Europe.

My line is sold all over Europe, and in the United States, Asia and the Eastern countries and Australia.

Pictures of my creations by world famous photographers has been published in international fashion magazines all over the world.

Three years ago I read my first book about Bhagwan and for me it was an incredible revelation. During the reading I felt him as a great spiritual master who adapted his inspiration to the needs of the man of today.

As a woman who designs clothes for the woman of todayY felt a new force in that reading and I decide to discover more abou Bhagwan, through more books, and later tapes and videos. Finally, I was sure of his spirituality and decided to come to see him at Rajneeshpuram, where I was truly impressed in findinfg that all that I had feel was really true.

For me, it was like the begining of a new life.

Now I can testufy the deep and exceptional work of Bhagwan in so many fields. My work has completly change since that trip and I feel that he has helped me in a way no one could had.
